Both series feature a main character that travels from place to place, learning more about that place and the people in it along the way. Instead of being a main component of the plot, the protagonists instead act as eyes through which the viewer can observe the stories of other characters.
A protagonist and a comrade, traveling through planets/countries. On their journey, they meet people who live in these places, and learn the different customs, cultures or tragedies they experience, trivializing the world we live in.
Both are abstract animes which are extremely thought provoking, and the art style of kaiba is vaguely similar to that of Kino no Tabi.
While Kino journeys trough countries, Kaiba travels from planet to planet. Both animes have the same overall atmosphere. Also the philosophical questions raised are similar. If you liked one, you will like the other.

Same director, therefore both animes have a similar atmosphere, character-design, art style, set of characters, plot etc... Those series are pretty much alike.
Kemonozume and Kaiba do not look the same, however they both fully use interesting visual approaches to aptly suit the tone of each show. Kemonozume is a bit more rough around the edges and Kaiba is more bubbly. Both of these shows are science fiction on the surface; love stories at heart. I'd recomend watching both of these anime series, especially if you liked one. Same producers too.
The series are from the same director and studio. One has to get used to their unique art style and they are both very emotional, tragic and dramatic.

While the plotlines of these two series are quite different, each has a similar atmosphere. They both use unusual art styles to interpret the out-of-the-ordinary worlds they happen in: in Gankutsuou, colorful animation paired with a futuristic past; in Kaiba, old-style character designs to express a different sort of sci-fi. Each is also set in space, but very unscientifically, using it as a springboard for unconventional ideas, not realism.
Similar story about a romance from the past and a guy trying to get revenge. Both are very mysterious and keep you guessing.

They have the same general "feel." First, they both choose to use a different art style, though Kaiba's is more different from the generic anime style of today than Casshern Sins' is. The main characters of both series suddenly awake with amnesia, and find themselves being hunted for reasons they can't remember. They both go on a journey with no destination, and as they meet more people whose stories tend to conclude in either tragic or bittersweet ways, they learn more about themselves and the world they live in.

Don't be fooled by their childlike exteriors. Both Kaiba and Chirin no Suzu combine cute artistic styles with in-depth, often dark themes.

Both ask us the question whether a body does still contain a human when either the mind/memories or body can be replaced/altered. They also present us with the effects of altering memories and similar subjects.

Masaaki Yuasa's segment in Genius Party is similar to Kaiba.

They may not be similar in genre or art~ but they are in another way. Mushishi is an episodic series in which the main character goes on a journey and learns the stories of other people. For the first half of Kaiba there are also quite a few episodes in which the main character meets and learns about other people while traveling. Both series are very unique as well

they both have people wanting to follow thier dreams and not stoping until they do.

Both involve lost memories and groups on an adventure. Both stories turn into a serious drama. And they involve romance.

Animation that would be appealing to children, but the content of the anime is for adults. Both are science-fiction and surreal.

The most basic premise is the same - you have a main character who you like, but who has no recollection of who he is. You are going along for the ride with this character who you're rooting for, but you're not entirely sure who is the good guy and who is the bad guy. Memory loss, love and troubled times in the name of a more perfect society are present in both series.
One caveat - if you can not stand a variety of unique artwork or animation styles, then you will probably have a hard time watching Kaiba... which is a shame because it's an excellent series. The story is beautiful and if you appreciate unique animation and art, you will love it too. Higashi no Eden is wonderfully animated and drawn - but it's within the realm of normally drawn anime. Kaiba might be what Higashi no Eden would have looked like if Dr. Seuss had animated it.

Same director. Both of them have very trippy art and weird, interesting characters. Mind Game is not sci-fi at the very least, but it shares the same style that was eventually used in his other works including Kaiba.

Both have pretty unique and distinctive styles as well as being thematically close at times. Lain focuses more on communication in relation to identity, where Kaiba seems to explore what comprises an identity. Where Lain is obviously cyberpunk, Kaiba is involved in many of the ideas that make up the cyberpunk genre. I just got very similar vibes from the two.

The stories and characters are very similar. They both are about a character who lost his memories and travels their unique world trying to find answers.
Warp and Kaiba are practically identical to Vincent and Ergo Proxy. Neiro and Monad are both similar as well.
